Sunsetting SailKit. I built it to make email templating in SvelteKit feel natural: Svelte components in, responsive emails out. I still believe in that idea, and I’m proud of what the project became. 👇

Happy Friday! LaraStart v2 is live 🚀 - Laravel 13 - Inertia 3 (+ persisted layouts, instant visits, and more) - DX and UX improvements across the board If you’re starting a new Laravel + Svelte project, check it out👇 github.com/n00ki/laras... #laravel #svelte

What are people using for email templating in SvelteKit apps these days? Any recommendations worth exploring? Feels like it’s time to decide where SailKit goes next, if anywhere 🤔 #svelte #sveltekit

context compaction vs skills. it's basically one or the other. am i wrong?

Claude.

nah 🙈 peak @taylorotwell.bsky.social

I officially surrender. Really wanted to be as cool and productive as y'all, but I simply can't get used to vim motions. Sorry, I'm giving up for now 🤷 have to pick my battles.

Bouncing on and off this project has been a constant reminder of why it needs to exist. When done with passion and kindness, public accountability is a powerful tool. kumbaya.dev - Light a Fire. Gather Around. Build Together. Coming soon. Hopefully 🙈 #buildinpublic #indiehackers

IMHO, Zed is better than Cursor in almost every way. The only reason I even think about launching Cursor is that its autocomplete is simply on a different planet. @zed.dev any roadmap items? 🙈

enthusiasm is a magical source of energy 💪 Integrated the official Laravel + Svelte starter kit into LaraStart (🔖 v1). If you’ve been waiting for a sign to try this combo, this is the “omakase” setup I use daily 👇 github.com/n00ki/laras... #laravel #svelte #buildinpublic

heard an idea on a podcast made me think 🤔 built it. shipped it. you can just do things (thanks @aaronfrancis.com for spreading this energy) let-time-in.dev

we obsess over making UI feel "fresh" but there's beauty in things that gain character as they age three divs three birthdays three stories of time software doesn't age. maybe it should 🤷 let-time-in.dev

@jasonfried.bsky.social on the @davidsenra.com podcast: "Software doesn't age. It looks the same over time." That made me think... what if it did? 🙈 So I built a tiny utility that makes UI age like physical materials. Give your div a birthday. Let time do the rest. let-time-in.dev

🚀 SvelteKit Omakase v5 is live! The bigger revamp is underway, but still: 🔄 Remote Functions 🗂️ Reorganized structure 🎯 Cleaner, consistent conventions 🤖 Lean docs for AI-assisted dev 🧹 ~1,600 LOC removed (remember when this was the whole flex? 🙈) somakase.dev #svelte #sveltekit #buildinpublic

Data layer is coming together 🪵 Still early, but the fire is building 🔥 kumbaya.dev #buildinpublic #accountability

this excitement never goes away🎁

2026: the year of highly capable AI agents running bleeding-edge...bash scripts, XML, and markdown? 🫢 Everything old is new again. boring tech always wins.

I’ve spent the last few days building the same foundation three times: SvelteKit, TanStack Start, Laravel + Inertia. Classic analysis paralysis - Saw it coming from miles away and fell in anyway. Starting tomorrow, I’m giving myself permission to be “wrong” and committed 💪

I believe that building in public should feel like gathering around a campfire, not standing under a spotlight. What about you?

lighting the first fire 🔥 kumbaya.dev - coming soon... #buildinpublic #indiehackers #accountability

Honestly, what’s the excuse for not choosing Svelte at this point? 🤓

It's been a while, but I'm back experimenting with some exciting new features for SailKit 😎 Just shipped v0.3.4 in the meantime - no flashy features this time, but solid foundation work. Stay tuned for what's next 👀 #svelte #sveltekit #email #opensource sailkit.xyz

modern frontend frameworks might be lacking in some areas, but their DX and tooling story? absolutely unmatched in web development. I believe that ease-of-use is one of the key factors driving widespread adoption 🛠️

i used to love SvelteKit's "+" naming conventions. clean, clever, unmistakably Svelte. but after exploring other ecosystems lately, coming back feels... off. not bad, just different than what I need now. funny how you can appreciate something and still outgrow it.

VSCode versions are live 👏 github.com/n00ki/themes...

my raison d'être ♥︎ 2 years

I hate to admit it, but I'm starting to appreciate React's "everything is JS" nature. Sure, HTML-first feels more intuitive and way less verbose, but there's something to the "forget templates, it's all just functions returning markup" story after all 😎

🍣 Themes Omakase A collection of my custom themes. I love them! Hope you do too 🙈 👉 github.com/n00ki/themes...

spent the last week coding exclusively in zed. fell in love with almost everything about it (AI story included) ♥︎ except the autocomplete! Cursor Tab is just light-years ahead 🤷 @zed.dev #cursor

most effective complaint? do the work and make it better.

Well...I guess I just have an itch for starter kits 🤷 LaraStart is my go-to for building modern web applications with Laravel + Svelte. It's highly opinionated and I love it 🥰 so I decided to share! github.com/n00ki/larast... Would love feedback from the @laravel.com / @svelte.dev communities!

the path reveals itself by walking, not by waiting. it doesn't exist until you take the first step.

me, myself and i = 3 🙈

"the creators of SailKit made an incredibly smart decision. it's brilliant" Finally, some unbiased validation! 😎 sailkit.xyz streamable.com/gpkbk8 #notebooklm #svelte #email

📝 note to self: i'm willing and able

🎉 SvelteKit Omakase v4 is here! (Friday releases, my tradition... 😅) 🔐 Better-Auth integration - Unified, flexible auth & user management 🎯 Simplified structure & reduced complexity ⚡ Modern best practices & consistent patterns ✨ Polish & maintenance somakase.dev #svelte #sveltekit #buildinpublic

ok so i got kumbaya.dev 😎 now i just need the perfect idea. what would you build?

Creating better conditions is often the only way to solve a problem. Positioning matters 🎯

every day is easier than some days. counting on my willpower always leads to negotiations with myself. decide once, then follow the system ⚙️

the story shapes everything, and i always get to choose it. (P.S. this isn't naive positivity 🙈 It's recognizing you have more power than you think)

i think i like this hybrid pattern for SvelteKit form actions 🗯️ • follows conventions (actions object) • clean function separation • clear URL mapping • easier to test • easier to search/navigate in larger projects • consistent pattern across the codebase thoughts? #svelte

i used to say: BYO Auth. great for learning web foundations - sessions, cookies, tokens, hashing... yet, battle-tested 3rd party solutions let you focus on what makes your app unique. the sweet spot? probably in between. been exploring Better-Auth lately - looking very promising 👀

the future looks promising 🙈 youtu.be/e-1pVKUWlOQ @svelte.dev @rich-harris.dev 💪

📝 note to self: I can show up as myself and choose to lead. the magic happens when I create work that matters alongside people who actually care.

I spent years waiting for my big break, only to realize it was waiting for me to take the first step all along...

i truly believe the future belongs to the humans who dare to care. no algorithm can imitate genuine passion, craft and expertise. it's not about resisting change, but leaning into what only you can bring to the table.

💡 Brainstorming background jobs & queues for SvelteKit Omakase What's your go-to solution these days? somakase.dev #svelte #opensource #buildinpublic

if I spend all day dreaming up possible futures, I’ll probably never build one 💭 once again, it's time to stop thinking and start doing.

ever get that rush when a brilliant idea hits you out of nowhere? you’re fired up, ready to conquer the world - nothing can stop you! that feeling that makes you leap out of bed and show up, overflowing with passion and excitement. that feel… nevermind. It’s already gone 🙈

thought i needed both the sanctuary and the storm... turns out the sanctuary 🦋 is enough kind and nourishing engagement is a choice!
